Biological Information

  • Product Name
    Oxybenzone
  • Note
    Research use only, not for human use.
  • Brief Description
    Oxybenzone is an organic compound used in sunscreens. It is a derivative of benzophenone.
  • Description
    Oxybenzone is an organic compound used in sunscreens. It is a derivative of benzophenone. It forms colorless crystals that are readily soluble in most organic solvents. It is used as an ingredient in sunscreen and other cosmetics because it absorbs UV-A ultraviolet rays. (In Vitro):Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) (25 μM; 24 hours) decreases the relative RXRβ and RXRγ protein levels by 61 and 56%, respectively and increases the relative RXRα protein level by 49%.Oxybenzone (25-100 μM; 24 hours) induces an increase in caspase-3 levels in primary cultures of mouse neocortical cells at 7 DIV. Oxybenzone-induced apoptosis involves the activation of RXRα signaling and the impairment of RXRβ/RXRγ signaling. Oxybenzone (25 μM; 24 hours) inhibits global DNA methylation as well as reduced HDAC and HAT activities in mouse embryonic neuronal cells.
